Clinical informatics, data services and regulatory assurance
Specified, built and assured by practising senior clinicians, supported by qualified technical and project staff. Providing services to the NHS since 2010.
Designed, hosted and managed end to end
From specification through build, clinical safety assurance and live running. All client systems and client data are held in the United Kingdom.
Services
What we do
Healthcare systems specified by clinicians who have used them in practice, built by people who have run them at national scale, and assured against the standards the NHS holds its suppliers to.
Clinical safety and regulatory assurance
Clinical safety officer services and full support for DCB0129 and DCB0160 — hazard logs, clinical safety case reports and post-deployment review. We prepare Digital Technology Assessment Criteria submissions, and we review the safety cases put forward by other suppliers.
Information governance and data protection
Caldicott principles, lawful basis, data protection impact assessments, data sharing agreements and Data Security and Protection Toolkit preparation — from people who have written these submissions and assessed them.
AI assurance and governance
Independent assessment of AI and machine learning tools intended for clinical or operational use: intended purpose, data provenance, evaluation, bias, monitoring, and the governance needed to deploy them responsibly and keep them safe once they are in service.
Data platforms and visualisation
Dashboards and drill-down views of large healthcare datasets, built around the people who will actually read them — clinician, analyst or contract manager. The visual concepts come from clinical practice rather than generic business reporting.
Interactive datasets
Datasets the reader can move through along a path defined by the structure of the data itself, instead of being held to a fixed set of reports written in advance by somebody else.
Geospatial analysis and mapping
Healthcare data blended with demographic, social and Ordnance Survey reference data to produce mapped views of activity, access and outcomes across a population.
Data interfaces and integration
Your data stays available to you. We provide structured interfaces in JSON and XML so other systems can read from and write to the platforms we operate, documented and agreed at the start of each engagement.
Application and platform development
Responsive web applications tested across current desktop and mobile browsers, with accessibility and clinical safety designed in from the start rather than retrofitted before an assessment.
Data collection and national reporting
Structured collection and submission systems — audit, registry and workforce reporting platforms running at national scale, with the validation and quality control that makes the returns worth analysing.
Secure hosting and managed service
We source, configure and manage hosting on your behalf, entirely within the United Kingdom, with monitoring, maintenance, backup and user support included as standard rather than priced as extras.
Advisory and expert input
Independent clinical and informatics advice for boards, programme teams and research units, including review of supplier claims, readiness assessment and a second opinion on a business case before it is committed to.
Specified by clinicians
Every system we build is specified by someone who has used one like it in practice. That is the difference between a dashboard that is technically correct and one that will get used and make a difference.
Assured as it is built
Clinical safety and information governance run alongside the build, not as a document produced at the end to get through a gate. It is cheaper, and the resulting safety case is one that holds up. Privacy and cyber security built in by design.
Ours to run, yours to own
We host and operate what we build, and your data stays accessible to you throughout the engagement and at the end of it. No part of it is held hostage to the contract.
